Brinkmann Bardo/12" Enterprise Mk4/Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum
Lector CDP7TL
MFA Baby Reference
Nord One UP SE NC500Ms
AND/OR
Icon Audio MB845SEs
Pimped Black Ice Glass fx DSD
Audio-GD DI-2014
Alphason 5 tier rack (comes apart for easy transport)
Could add my KEF 104ab if speakers are needed.
Looks like a decent CDT is needed to feed DACs, do have a Mk1 Marantz CD63se if no CDT available.

Does your Lector have a digital out? We did demo the Project cdt against a CEC (£2.7k) and an Audio Note (£3.3k) and although not quite as good, that was without the LPS, and due to the fact is was going to be a 2nd source it was the one purchased. Should have added, for me I don't care which amp you bring, interested to hear either and also the Black Ice Dac  |

Lector is line out only, but still holds its own against most things especially now with the df6 6201s I place of ecc81s.
And yes, am sure about bringing the Bardo, have the box so all will be good.

Not sure I would bring anything unless there's something I have of particular interest to someone?
Could bring Audiolab CD transport if such a thing is required. Or something probably not many have ever encountered, like the Philips 'Black Tulip' pre/power, or the 'giant-killing' NAD C320BEE

Euston to Wolverhampton, there's a direct one leaves at 0950 and gets in at 1210. About 7 mile to the venue from the station.
